Established in Dubrovnik in 1965, the Linđo Folklore Ensemble is a cultural institution under the auspices of the City of Dubrovnik. It was named after the favourite and best-known folk dance in the areas of Dubrovačko Primorje, Župa and Konavle. In addition to the Festivity of St Blaise, the Dubrovnik dialect, the art of Konavle embroidery, klapa singing and many other Croatian cultural phenomena, the Linđo circle dance is included in the national list of protected intangible cultural assets. The Linđo Folklore Ensemble has won a large number of awards and recognitions. Since 1967, the Ensemble has been performing regularly at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival. Appearing extensively at home and abroad, the ensemble has been a successful promoter of the City of Dubrovnik and Croatia. The year 2025 marks a significant anniversary for the Linđo Folklore Ensemble, celebrating 60 years of continuous activity. This anniversary year is dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the ensemble’s rich tradition, cultural heritage, and the dedication of the many generations who have contributed to its development.
